abstract
  • The Kingdom of Portugal (Portuguese, Reino de Portugal) is a kingdom on the Iberian Peninsula. Its capital is Lisbon (Lisboa). The country is the head of a pluri-continental and multi-ethnic global colonial empire.
  • Its formal creation was during the 1383-85 Crisis when Portugal asserted its independence from the Castile Crown. The Monarchy was created also during Crisis, with the the turnover of power from the House of Aviz to the House of Pereira when John I of Portugal was assassinated by Castile forces and the Constable of Portugal, Nuno Álvares Pereira, ascended the throne. The Dynasty of Pereira has lead the nation since 1385, and has kept the military and royal family intermingled; and has lead an interactive role of the nations functions. In 1870, under King Gonçalo created the Assembly of Delegates which allowed for the first ever democratic process in the nations history. In 1419 the Portuguese explored the coast of Africa in search of a reasonable trade route for spices. Building small trading posts along the coastline of Africa; Portugal build a massive network of trade. In April 1500, Pedro Álvares Cabral discovered the Brazilian coastline, and in 1534 began colonization and the set up of colonial governments known as the Captaincies of Brazil. The Portuguese would later go on to build the city of Nagasaki and colonize Africa. King Manuel II, in 1897 sough the Spanish colonies of Africa and the Caribbean and allied with the United States to take the remaining colonies. In the 21st century, Portugal is regarded as an liberal-traditional state, which in essence was constructed by the monarchy in 1990 to maintain control of the rising liberal consciousness. The Pereira Crown has been traditionally an extremist Roman Catholic family, due mostly to the fact of the tradition created by Nuno Álvares Pereira (a canonized saint), but in recent years has reversed its very vocal position. Economically, the state is a mixed economy, with a heavy capitalist incentive in the Brazilian provinces, which has been deemed the Paraíso Capitalista.
